We booked last minute and Caroline helped us with our reservation and settled us in she was great. Only stayed one night but liked that it was close to shipshewana flea market. The resort seemed a bit older but offered many amenities like, a pool, mini golf, basketball and several bath houses some where updated. Would stay again if in the area.

spoke to gal as convention we were attending ended on labor day weekend sending us out of Pennsylvania needing to be in Chicago by the 2nd. Was assured we'd have a spot, arrived only to be told we had the wrong day she had no sites, based on the entry to campground we were forced to drive through park, saw multiple openings, , she referred us to Twin mills, quote "hates to refer people to them" Of course it doesn't accept same day reservations, So there we were sitting in Howe IN wondering what we were to do, Thank goodness a stranger helped us. Only thing that I wish to compliment her about is she said she would not charge us for the reservation.

We were passing through and called at 930- with two small kids needing a camp spot for one night, we were 15 min away and she turned us down saying no it’s too late and she can’t help us even though she had spots, then recommended twin something but said she doesn’t recommend them.. sure sounds like a good spot with kids then. We didn’t need her help at the spot or anything - we have a rooftop tent.. She then hung up on us. Maybe caught her on a bad night but came off pretty dismissive and rude

Carolyn was awesome. Made us feel like family. Nice quiet campground no hassle, she found us when she had a moment to settle up. Nothing better after a full day of driving just spending the night.

I don't give 4 stars easily, and 5 is rare indeed. I would give a 4.5 if I could. If you're looking for a high end resort with concierge, this ain't it. But it is a reasonably priced campground with great service, Caroline. There is a pool and baby pool, off putting foot rinse. The pool is older but clean. Nice newer playgrounds for the kids. Cute mini golf that is functional but older. Basketball court about same. Seems like the group is slowly replacing amenities in a financially secure method. Works for me. There is a stage with power that makes me guess they have live music sometimes. Awesome. Would definitely stay again if it works in our schedule.
